Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2023

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see and talk to the President of the United States?

This would be a great honor if you were Democrat, Republican or independent.

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

God's Human Nature Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The full Gospel is Christmas and Easter, and that Jesus was fully man and fully God. He was the God-Man. If you take either one out of the church year you have destroyed it, and if you take either of the natures of Jesus out of him you have destroyed the Gospel and the Jesus of the New Testament.

Superman has always been popular as a comic book character, and I can remember racing across the snow in a blizzard to trade comic books with a friend in order to get some new adventures of this heaven-like hero of humanity.

Experiencing Christmas All Year Round Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 7, 2024

Which God Do You Serve?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 3, 2023

Who is your God? All people believe in something. But in whom do you believe? Who is your God? You believe in socialism. That's your God. Some of you believe in communism. That's your God. That's not the God of the Bible. You can know about God and certainly not have Jesus Christ.

The God of the Bible is a God of all hope. He's a God of mercy. He's a God of love. He's a God of amazing grace. He's a God of wrath. Who is your God? All people believe in something. But in whom do you believe? Who is your God? You believe in socialism. That's your God. Some of ...read more
